Overclocking is pretty nice. I'm not hardcore into it enough to do bleeding edge OCs, but I've been pretty happy with basic results. My PC's prior build was a Core i7-920 that I ran at 4.02ghz over the stock 2.66 and my current is a Core i7-7700K I'm running at 5.2 over stock 4.2. The 920 I used a Noctua air cooler, honkin big thing. So much so that I was nervous transporting the PC upright, lol, I was worried about all that weight pulling on the board. When I built the new PC, I used a Corsair AIO water cooling kit. No fuss, no muss and keeps it nice and cool and stable. Really quiet too. I never tried overclocking my GPU. Haven't really had a need yet, I haven't ran any games that stress it out.

Nothing like getting some free clock cycles, lol
